Just one week before filing for divorce from Katy Perry in December 2011, actor Russell Brand vehemently denied any marital problems between himself and the pop star on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." Brand told the host, "I'm really happily married … I'm married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I'm still alive." So much for that. - Xfinity Entertainment Programmers

Amidst rumors of an affair, Kutcher and Moore stayed mum about their relationship in the media during 2011.

Kutcher even shot down haters on Twitter in September, writing, "When you ASSUME to know that which you know nothing of you make an A** out of U and ME." Demi filed for divorce one month later. - Xfinity Entertainment Programmers

Unfortunately, the two were not fine and announced their intent to divorce just two months later. - Xfinity Entertainment Programmers

Madonna's publicist issued a very definitive divorce denial to People magazine in July 2008, writing, "There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce." End of story, right? Nope. Madonna herself seconded the sentiment, telling the same mag, "My husband and I are not planning on getting a divorce." Something obviously changed because, just three short months later, the duo officially called it quits. - Xfinity Entertainment Programmers

Heather Mills denied all rumors of an impending divorce from Paul McCartney in 2006 just one week before the couple announced their split to the world. "It's hilarious. Of course we are together.

Nick and Jessica, television's original reality sweethearts, were also really good liars.

Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley announced their intention to divorce in September 2009, just months after Whibely's band Sum 41 released a divorce denial. The band's website read, "For the record, we strongly deny the inference of marital problems between Avril and Deryck." Either Deryck didn't give them the heads up, or this is another case of false divorce denial. - Xfinity Entertainment Programmers
